Community engagement

Community engagement as a public health practice: Community engagement is a strong value and fundamental practice of public health. Learn more about the community health assessment (CHA), community health improvement plan (CHIP), cross-sectoral partnerships, and tools to facilitate and increase community engagement.

Supporting health equity through community engagement: Genuine engagement with the community is one way to assure public health recognizes needed changes and takes appropriate action. Learn more about the importance of engagement to equity, communities co-creating their own healthy futures, and more.

Stories of engagement: We engage people in a variety of ways, and keep each community and health issue in mind. Here, find examples of engagement initiatives and partnerships.

Community engagement at MDH: Learn more about how MDH is striving to listen authentically to and partner with communities in order to advance health equity.

Getting involved with MDH: MDH involves people like you to inform and support its work. Learn more about advisory committees, program work groups, grant decision panels, rulemaking, partnerships, policy development, and more.
